Valaire has been mixing its unique blend of jazz, electro, hip-hop, pop and sampling since 2004. The Sherbrooke-based group, winner of two Félix awards in the Electronic Album of the Year category, has released five albums, in addition to a host of collaborative projects. Known for bringing crowds to their feet across Quebec and Europe, the band was also involved in creating the soundtrack for the Moment Factory show being projected onto Barcelona’s Sagrada Familia.
Jazz futon, the group’s fifth album, sees Kilojules, Luis Clavis, Tō, France and DRouin return to their jazz roots. The carefully crafted, thoughtful tracks follow one another in a way that is both breezy and fully fleshed out, inviting the listener to join in the fun wherever they are, like only Valaire can.

In addition to releasing 5 albums, singer-songwriter Antoine Gratton has been involved in album production, orchestration, and film music for several years. Now acting as musical director for La Voix and Star Académie, Antoine has earned his reputation as a legendary showman, which continues to follow him even though he has not toured in a few years. The amazing performer and passionate musician continues to shine light on Quebec’s musical universe wherever he goes!
Laurence Nerbonne is a singer-songwriter, producer and beatmaker from Gatineau whose unique urban pop sound combines catchy melodies and American influences. Laurence won the Juno award for Francophone Album of the Year in Canada in 2017. She was named Révélation Radio-Canada and received the SOCAN song award in 2016. She was also nominated for an ADISQ award for her albums XO and FEU and was awarded the SPACQ’s Prix Gilles Vigneault for her work as a songwriter in 2021. Laurence is constantly reinventing herself, infusing her regional pop sounds with a twist all her own.
A fixture on today’s Quebec music scene, Marie-Pierre Arthur has been confidently charting her career since the release of her debut album in 2009. The singer-songwriter and bassist, who likes to stay far away from anything too smooth and polished, embodies the unapologetic soul of a deep-rooted, gripping folk-rock sound. She also revels in the happy paradox of being a hard-to-define performer with a penchant for mystery and a slightly elusive aura. Marie-Pierre is, at once, inimitable and impossible to ignore.
Sara Dufour has been described as a powerful spark plug, an image that perfectly encapsulates the brilliant singer-songwriter from Dolbeau-Mistassini who has been touring Quebec and France since 2019, racking up honours and performing more than 300 times in front of captivated and growing audiences. In her live shows, Sara makes listeners yearn for escape and a healthy dose of freedom. With her guitar in hand, she relies on her country-flavoured, folk’n’roll melodies to guide the way. She retells gas-fuelled tales and daring adventures, always sprinkled with a touch of humour, a disarming spontaneity, and a firm grasp on her roots.
Les Louanges is the project of Vincent Roberge, a singer-songwriter from Lévis with raw talent and proven musical chops. His debut album, La nuit est une panthère, charmed critics on its release in September 2018 and earned its author three trophies at the ADISQ gala. His second album, Crash, released in 2022, heralds a resolutely more pop sound for the artist and speaks of Vincent Roberge’s revealing yet dizzying journey after the release of his first opus. It also earned the artist a place on the Polaris Prize’s long list, as well as nominations and a win at the ADISQ gala alongside his long-time collaborator Félix Petit.
